Highlights from Southern California Moments

Archie Tucker

On March 30, 2007, a 150-acre brush fire blackened the Los Angeles skyline. Dozens of Angelenos-- including Archie Tucker -- gathered to take pictures as the blaze eerily made its way to the Hollywood sign. Tucker shot this image with his Nikon D8400 just a few blocks up from a tunnel at the Griffith Observatory. Though the smoke appears threatening, it was later determined that there was no imminent danger and therefore no damage done to the city's beloved landmark.

Armineh Hovanesian is always on the lookout for great improv and comedy shows in the Los Angeles area. Last month, a few friends in the production crew at the Whitefire Theatre in Sherman Oaks gave her a "behind the scenes" view of one of their sketches. With her iPhone4, Hovanesian captures two actors smiling at their comrades onstage as an audience member watches. "This photo shows me sheer joy," Hovanesian said. "They are thoroughly enjoying their colleagues' performance."
